Maintenance tips

• Break-in: Perform a few moderate braking cycles to properly bed the pads to the rotor.

• Rotor cleaning: Use a brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to avoid contamination that could reduce bite or cause noise.

• Regular checks: Inspect pad thickness at every service and replace them when the friction material is worn.

• Heat management: During long descents, monitor temperature. These pads handle heat well but periodic cooling is beneficial.
